TOWARDS SECURING WILDLIFE
AND WILDLIFE HABITATS IN OUR
PROTECTED AREAS

Tashinga Initiative | Forty Rangers, Ten Teams, One 21 km Challenge – Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2026

This video follows Team Mana Pools, representing all ten of The Tashinga Initiative’s Mid-Zambezi Region WRC teams. They are not professional athletes. They are the people who protect 12,800 sq km of Zimbabwe’s Mid-Zambezi Region Protected Areas every day. They trained May through to September, between patrols, recording every run on the Strava app.

OUR GOALS

ADVANCING THE PROTECTION AND STEWARDSHIP OF WILDLIFE HABITATS

Protecting wildlife habitats in Zimbabwe's Mid-Zambezi Region (12,800 sq km) is key to biodiversity and ecosystem balance. Effective conservation and public awareness are needed to address threats.

IMPLEMENTING & MAINTAINING CONSERVATION INTERVENTIONS

Our strategic and impactful contributions support the ongoing conservation initiatives led by the National Authority ZimParks, as well as projects developed by conservation organisations within the region.

CREATING A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR RANGERS

The Tashinga Initiative focuses on empowering rangers, enhancing patrols, and improving park management. Supporting rangers is crucial for effective patrols in remote wilderness areas. In Zimbabwe, Ranger Patrol Units regularly conduct foot patrols as part of their wildlife monitoring activities.

Wildlife Rangers play a key role in protecting wildlife areas, serving on the frontlines of conservation.

The Tashinga Initiative, a female-led Charitable Trust in Zimbabwe, supports their vital work by raising funds and running targeted projects to safeguard both wildlife and their habitats. Well-supported conservation efforts help ensure lasting protection for animals by maintaining healthy ecosystems, conserving resources, and strengthening resilience.
